1Timothy 5

1 An aged person thou mayest not rebuke, but be entreating as a father; younger persons as brethren;YLT — 1Timothy 5:1

2 aged women as mothers, younger ones as sisters — in all purity;YLT — 1Timothy 5:2

3 honour widows who are really widows;YLT — 1Timothy 5:3

4 and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.YLT — 1Timothy 5:4

5 And she who is really a widow and desolate, hath hoped upon God, and doth remain in the supplications and in the prayers night and day,YLT — 1Timothy 5:5

6 and she who is given to luxury, living — hath died;YLT — 1Timothy 5:6

7 and these things charge, that they may be blameless;YLT — 1Timothy 5:7

8 and if any one for his own — and especially for those of the household — doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.YLT — 1Timothy 5:8

9 A widow — let her not be enrolled under sixty years of age, having been a wife of one husband,YLT — 1Timothy 5:9

10 in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;YLT — 1Timothy 5:10

11 and younger widows be refusing, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry,YLT — 1Timothy 5:11

12 having judgment, because the first faith they did cast away,YLT — 1Timothy 5:12

13 and at the same time also, they learn [to be] idle, going about the houses; and not only idle, but also tattlers and busybodies, speaking the things they ought not;YLT — 1Timothy 5:13

14 I wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer to reviling;YLT — 1Timothy 5:14

15 for already certain did turn aside after the Adversary.YLT — 1Timothy 5:15

16 If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, that those really widows it may relieve.YLT — 1Timothy 5:16

17 The well-leading elders of double honour let them be counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and teaching,YLT — 1Timothy 5:17

18 for the Writing saith, ‘An ox treading out thou shalt not muzzle,’ and ‘Worthy [is] the workman of his reward.’YLT — 1Timothy 5:18

19 Against an elder an accusation receive not, except upon two or three witnesses.YLT — 1Timothy 5:19

20 Those sinning, reprove before all, that the others also may have fear;YLT — 1Timothy 5:20

21 I testify fully, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the choice messengers, that these things thou mayest keep, without forejudging, doing nothing by partiality.YLT — 1Timothy 5:21

22 Be laying hands quickly on no one, nor be having fellowship with sins of others; be keeping thyself pure;YLT — 1Timothy 5:22

23 no longer be drinking water, but a little wine be using, because of thy stomach and of thine often infirmities;YLT — 1Timothy 5:23

24 of certain men the sins are manifest beforehand, leading before to judgment, and certain also they follow after;YLT — 1Timothy 5:24

25 in like manner also the right works are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise are not able to be hid.YLT — 1Timothy 5:25
